You know how techbros have this thought terminating cliche about how “they don’t need to be perfect, just better than you?” Well,

This particular deathmobile was stuck behind a truck parked on the side. You know, like what happens in every city. Decides to wait there for 10 minutes. Then it has a change of heart and tries to maneuver out from behind. How does it do this? By doing a 500-point turn resulting in it being lined up perpendicular to the road, blocking all traffic. Another 10 minutes or so. Now it’s decided to make its move. How? Doing a left 270 and running a red light through a busy intersection.

“Through” is the wrong word though, it just stopped in the middle of the intersection and died.

So happy to see this bazingamobile being tested on the civilian population. Place your bets on when it kills its first child!

    Yeah, and that’s the basis of the name of the “LessWrong” cult, too. yea

      Imagine taking that dumb “how fast do you need to be to run from a bear” joke and making that your entire ideology.

      IIRC the less wrong thing comes from an Asimov essay (EDIT link removed) Asimov essay called “The relativity of wrong”, originally. Of course, the blue curtain enjoyers took in none of the humility and appreciation for those who came before. Shocker.
